Getting through amputation

Update posted by Nicole Hinanay

Last January 13, 2020, the Vets amputated the lower portion of Lovesky's mouth because there's no blood circulation and keeping it in tact would only cause him pain. It's hard for us to accept that it needs to be done because we really wanted Lovesky to be like how he was before the incident. We were very anxious as well before the operation because he was in a very weak state due to the pain caused by his mouth.

The operation was successful. The Vets told us that Lovesky has good vital signs and his organs are strong, especially his heart. Lovesky is now recovering in the hospital. He's still weak because of the medicine administered during the operation and post operation. The Vets need to observe Lovesky first and give him medical care to recover from the operation. This can take days to weeks depending on his rate of recovery.

Opting for amputation, Lovesky would need to get used to how his mouth would feel. He will need supervision for the first two months post operation as he can only eat soft diet and also extra care because he would be more prone to infection due to the his mouth being open. This is a con that our family decided to take for Lovesky to have another chance in life. The Vets told us that some dogs undergo amputation and some of them survived it and lived long lives. We're hoping and positively thinking that Lovesky could be one of them.

January 14, 2020, Tita visited Lovesky in the hospital. He is still weak but he looks better as compared to his post operation status. My Tita could see him fighting even if he's still in pain and is still very weak.


Let's continue to support and pray for this little fighter! Thank you for all the support and prayers for Lovesky. We appreciate it very much. :)
